How to take off the ABS & Traction Control?

I tried to get some info on this in the Handling and Braking section but, no reply. So, I will ask about it in the great Drag Racing section, since this is where Iam at most of the time anyway. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

1. Has anyone done it?
2. How hard is it?
3. What do I need to complete this action?(parts)

It does not work anyway. I can use the weight reduction as well. It doesn't work because I have a spool in her. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I also need to take off the cruise control, any help here?

Please help. I want to do this very soon. I need to be in the 10's in summer heat. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Thanks yall. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Coach do you have an ABS pack in your rear? I'm trying to find out if ABS will work with a 12 bolt ABS equipted spool.

Terry,

Yes, I do. It doesn't work on my Hot Rod.

I hope this helps.

Later,
Coach

Cruise control box is in the driver side fender well under the plastic cover. Mounted in a metal box. I hadn't removed mine but relocated it when I had the supercharger setup last year. I believe it has an electrical connection you need to unhook and just unbolt it. I'd guess its probably around 7 lbs but thats speculation at its finest. Make sure to weigh everything <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I removed cruise control, just (un)plug and play.

I want to remove ABS next week, I have been told that the master cylinder has the proportioning valve built in... Anyone?

I will truly drive the car on the street and maybe out of state, I need to know if that works I don't want to crash into stuff. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
